What expansion made your server decline?

I was just wondering about which expansion wiped out your server. Alot of people played up until luclin then quit, but there was still a large amount of people playing on my server (Rallos, then Zek). From what I remember there was still a reasonably large amount of people playing around 05-06 on Zek, but whichever expansion came out around 07 really diminished the population there from what I can remember.

Omens of War I think? 2004ish.

Not sure if it was the expansion or the release of wow, but that's when most of the people I knew quit playing Live EQ.

on fennin it was pretty late actaully, maybe depths of darkhallow or prophecy of ro which was widely labeled as yakesha 2.0..

as far as OoW is concerned, IMO it is by far the best post velious expansion, I loved the raiding in that expansion, and MPG has some of the best zone design outside of the original trilogy.

Depts of Darkhollow had to be the one.. Everyone lost interest after that horrible expansion.

The idea of turning into a fairy, and killing shrooms was retarded.

Ya, the tour lost sooo much when Jerry died. Fifteen years ago, it was (8/9/95)... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

People on every server had an issue with most of the expansions post-Planes of Power.

On Prexus, the top tier guilds and the players who led the way started to bail shortly after PoP. When WoW and EQ2 came out pretty much.

With the people I played with, WoW and EQ2, for sure.

I think the down hill adventure with Rallos Zek was Lost Dungeons of Norrath.

For anyone I knew on Druzzil Ro, running our 1,500th LDoN was the beginning of the end. Gates of Discord was the nail in the coffin. Its like SoE got drunk and named zones by throwing keyboards at each other. Uqua, Vxtta, Riwwi, Qvic or Ikkinz anyone?
